Well...I didn't think I cared that the 2002 Winter Games came to SLC. That was a short sighted attitude. I work for a local brew pub...and through some connection of one of the owners me and my boss were able to visit the Slovakian house. They had the Topvar 'light' and 'dark' as they called it. (English wasn't understood much there.) Anyway... superb beer!! Fucking amazing. As a brewer...I'm constantly amazed and mystified at what the Europeans are able to do with their beer. I want to know what the secret trick is!! This beer was light in color. Full flavored..full bodied. Reminded me more of a German pilsner than a Czech pilsner. It leaned toward the malty side of the balance. Excellent beer. Thank you Slovakia!! :-)

Best when served at room temperature. A wonderful full bodied mouthfeel that only the Slovaks can pull off. Aroma lasts the whole four minutes you are drinking it. I look forward to junifest this coming june in Bratislava so I can have at the source.

500ml bottle. There is sweetness and very light smoke in smell. Its taste is also these, beside sweetness there are bread and yeast, some hoppy bitter change each other. Medium body, medium yellow colour, medium foam but silk Co2.
